Sewer Odor Investigation in Southern Colorado
Find the Source of Persistent Sewer Odors
At American Leak Detection of Southern Colorado, we specialize in finding hidden leaks and tracing the source of unexplained sewer odors. If you smell sewage inside or around your Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Cañon City, Buena Vista, Woodland Park, or other Southern Colorado property, our technicians can investigate the source before you authorize invasive work. Using non-invasive leak detection technology and specialized diagnostic methods, we work to identify where sewer gases or wastewater may be escaping.

Sewer Odor Investigation for Homes and Businesses
Sewer odors can come from a variety of sources, and the strongest smell is not always located where the underlying problem exists. Our sewer odor investigations help narrow down the source so you can address the actual issue rather than relying on guesswork.
Hidden Sewer Leaks
A damaged or leaking sewer line can allow wastewater or sewer gases to escape beneath floors, inside walls, under landscaping, or around underground piping. We use specialized equipment and diagnostic techniques to help identify hidden leaks and determine where further inspection or repair may be needed.
Sewer Gas and Drain Odors
Persistent odors around drains, bathrooms, mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, or exterior areas can indicate a problem that is not immediately visible. Our investigation can help distinguish between an isolated drain issue and a larger leak or sewer line problem.
Underground Sewer Line Investigations
When odors are strongest outdoors or around buried plumbing, the source may be underground. We can investigate suspected leaks in sewer lines and other buried piping without immediately resorting to broad excavation. Accurate leak location helps your preferred plumber or contractor target repairs more precisely.
Cause & Origin / Mystery Odor Investigations
Odors can travel through wall cavities, floor systems, plumbing chases, and other spaces before becoming noticeable. If you cannot determine where a sewer odor originates, our Cause & Origin / Mystery Leaks expertise can help trace the problem and document our findings.
Why Choose a Dedicated Leak Detection Specialist?
Sewer odor problems can be difficult to diagnose because the location of an odor does not necessarily reveal the location of the leak. American Leak Detection focuses specifically on finding leaks rather than performing general plumbing repairs. That means our technicians come to the property with a diagnostic mindset and specialized equipment designed to locate hidden problems.
Here is what you can expect from our approach:
Non-invasive investigation designed to reduce unnecessary demolition
Specialized acoustic, electronic, pressure-based, and other leak detection methods
Technicians trained specifically in leak location and diagnostics
Leak Detection Without Destruction™ as a guiding principle
Clear explanations of our findings and recommended next steps
Know Before You Go pricing before work begins
Documentation that can help support insurance claims when appropriate
American Leak Detection has decades of experience developing specialized leak detection technology and training technicians to locate problems accurately. Our Southern Colorado team serves residential, commercial, multi-unit, and other properties throughout the region.
Commercial Sewer Odor Investigations
Sewer odors can create significant concerns for businesses, property managers, multi-unit buildings, and other facilities. A recurring odor in a tenant space, common area, restaurant, office, mechanical room, or exterior location may point to a hidden plumbing or sewer issue.
We investigate suspected leaks and mystery moisture or odor conditions to help property owners and managers identify the source. By locating the problem before unnecessary surfaces are opened, you can provide your plumber or repair contractor with better information for planning the next step.
For property managers and insurance professionals, clear documentation can also make it easier to coordinate inspections, repairs, and claims.
Clear Answers Before Sewer Repairs
Finding a sewer odor source can require more than following your nose. Odors may travel from the original source, while underground leaks can remain completely hidden from view. Our goal is to provide evidence-based findings so you understand what is happening before deciding how to proceed.
Once our investigation is complete, we explain what we found and discuss the available next steps. You can then work with your preferred plumber or contractor to determine the appropriate repair.
Protect Your Property With Better Leak Detection
Persistent sewer odors should not be ignored. Whether you have noticed sewage smells inside your home, unexplained odors around a commercial property, or a suspected underground sewer leak, professional investigation can help identify the source before the problem causes additional damage.
